Thanks D - you should make room for it in your garage...you could actually drive this one!

So I saw this today as I was picking up some other parts/engine from Rob....lets just say that if you are looking for a toy that wasn't done on the fly (and in fact was REALLY well thought out & has sooo many cool/custom touches), this is a great deal. You couldn't replicate this, especially with the extra bits avail, at 2x the price. When there are 10-15 Alfas (all in amazing condition) in the private shop....can't say enough good things about the seller.

Wish I could bring it home to the NW but I have six ahead of it.

Didn't make it to the convention but heard there was a very fast silver GTV6 there...

Make an offer - would like to get this car in the hands of someone who will use it!

I'm not in the market, but others at next week's AROC Convention in Pittsburgh might be. Any thoughts about bringing it the short distance from SE Michigan to the Pittsburgh International Race Complex for the Convention's track day (July 18)?

Not a bad idea - and I thought the same but unfortunately I won't be able to make it this year. If someone else wants to take it out there and have some fun, send me a PM. Call it an extended test drive. Must be returned in same condition!

Rick,

Thanks! The car is a total animal. The neighbors *love* the sound...there’s a single glasspack and a side pipe to quiet down the headers and that’s it. The car usually gathers a small crowd at some point in the pits after an early track session – usually for compliments about how good it sounds. Or it’s a BMW guy who can’t figure out why he’s getting passed when he has more horsepower.

The front bars are Shankle Super Sport (torsions and sway - 27s I think?) according to the notes but I don't recall measuring them. I do remember setting the ride height was a pain when I rebuilt the entire front suspension. Rugh custom rear springs. SZ DeDion apex bearing. Heim joint adjustable/ turnbuckle watts linkage. 4.10 final drive. Milano Brembo front alloy calipers. I seem to recall putting Carboteceh pads in all around. Do have log book as well as a title for the car, belts and seat are pretty fresh but don't know the dates offhand. Really, the car has all the right hardware.

To be clear, I'm not selling the car as an SCCA ready car and I've never used it as such (though the car has been a track/race car since the 80s) - I'm selling it as a track toy because the car is illegal with the current engine (though honestly, nobody would likely care as the GTV6 isn't really competitive in that class anyway). I don't know the exact weight but the thing really boogies.

Does it have the hollow torsion bar's in the front? What size?
Mono-ball DiDion front mount?
Final drive ratio?
Milano front brakes aluminum ?
Current log book, are the belts still date compliant?
Just a few things
Car is Killer...... nicely done. What does she weigh?
